- Microsoft Project 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q172884 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, when you open a file saved in an earlier version
of Microsoft Project, you may receive the following Microsoft Visual Basic
error
Unexpected error
An unexpected error occurred during command execution.
Try one of the following:
- Check that all argument names and values are correct and are of the
correct type.
- You may have run out of memory. To free up available memory, close
programs, projects, or windows you aren't using.
CAUSE
This error message occurs when the file contains a Visual Basic module with
a name longer than 31 characters. In Microsoft Project 98 module names are
limited to 31 characters. In contrast, in Microsoft Project for Windows 95,
version 4.x, module names are limited to 51 characters.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, reopen the file in the earlier version of
Microsoft Project, and rename the module so that it contains no more than
31 characters.
